Not only is it possible, it has been done. (on a flatbed semi) It was an emergency landing and the pilot was trying to use a road and right before touchdown, a semi came under him and he landed on the trailer without a choice. Lucky enough, he made it.

No, not if I had put a platform on a car and was driving! ;)

- Why not? Aircraft land on carrier decks.

- because I am not that skilled of a driver to stay straight enough and the right speed for it. Maybe YOU could but not me ;)

Yes, most aircraft need to obtain 70 mph to obtain lift. The biggest issue would be the weight of the plane on top of the car could cause the car to either collapse or be forced into a rapid slow down, therefore sliding the plane off of the ramp. I would be better done with a semi truck hauling a tailor.

- when you say "most aircraft" what do you mean?
  The Skyhawk ,mentioned in the question, will fly at 45mph. Some even slower
  And the Skyhawk doesn't weight much either. Not enough to collapse the roof of a normal car.

- I'm not versed on aircraft, but I am familiar with the concept. By most aircraft I mean most commercial aircraft.
